Ceilidh Dance - Geelong

About this event

Come and enjoy an evening of dance and socialising in Geelong West! The Geelong Ceilidh band, as well as Shane Lestideau and Friends, will provide live Celtic music with dances called by the one-and-only Una McAlinden. Pronounced "kay-lee", a ceilidh is more than just a dance, it's a traditional social gathering centred around music and group dancing. The word itself comes from the Gaelic for "gathering" or "party", and while the format may have evolved over time, the energy remains the same. Expect lively reels, jigs and strathspeys, all led by a Caller who walks dancers through the steps.
